How to learn to feel another person. How does a person feel when they die? Clinical death

The meaning of the word energy is known to many, because everything that is in this world consists of it. It accumulates, transforms into other forms and does not disappear without a trace. Each has its own energy, good and not so good. Just in this article 9 easy ways to determine the energy of a person.

How to understand who is in front of you?

Not only people have an energy field, but also animals and plants, stones and so on. Hence it is clear that the relationship between man and nature occurs as a result of the exchange of information.

You can determine the energy of a person by the following criteria:

1. Day, year and place of conception. If conception occurred during a solar or lunar eclipse, then the energy will be changeable, with certain violations.
2. Solar Activity. Those born during this period have a strong energy, they are resistant to external factors.
3. Human field. For example, a stranger entered the room, and there was a feeling that he pressed everyone. So his energy is very strong. And vice versa, if you go unnoticed, you are in front of an energetically weak person.
4. Intuitiveness. The sensitivity of each individual person is developed in different ways. When in contact with someone, you need to listen to your feelings.

How do you feel?

The energy of a person is so strong that you can feel it not only in direct contact, but also from a photo, at a distance.

Distance

In the distance, you can feel the energy of only a fairly close person. It is not necessary to have pronounced energy abilities.

To do this, you need to concentrate on the person, understand what he is doing at the moment and what emotions haunt him.

A photo

A lot can be said from a photograph. There is an opinion that during the creation of a picture, the energy goes from a person to a paper image. It can also change over time.

In order to learn how to correctly read information from an image, it is advised to start with cards of familiar people, about whom almost everything is known.

Then take a photo in your hands, carefully focus your gaze on the eyes of the person being read, his facial expressions and gestures. Use your imagination, it will help to match some details.

In this video, the magician Sargas gives a couple of simple practices that will help you learn to see energy and will be a good help in further magical development:

If you don't get it right the first time, try again.

Energy types

Mirrors

A man-mirror has the ability to reflect energy. Directed energy returns to the one who sends it. And it is not always positive. This type of people is easily protected from any kind of negativity, including those specifically directed at him.

They feel those around them. Mirrors distinguish the energy that is sent to the outside world. With any contact, the person-mirror becomes clear who is in front of him, and whether it is worth dealing with a stranger in the future.

Anyone who carries negative energy tries to bypass people-mirrors. After all, he receives the negativity emanating from himself in an even greater volume, which in turn provokes illness and causes problem situations.

Mechanism of action for a positive person same: when communicating with a mirror, he receives only positive emotions.

The circle of communication of the mirror is made up only of good people who carry positive emotions.

Walls

Wall people have the strongest energy. We can say they are impenetrable. Any misfortune that comes on them bounces off like a cork from a concrete wall.

But there are downsides to interacting with a human wall. Everything bad that is directed at him flies off and returns not to the one who directed, but to the people around the wall.

Leeches

There are a lot of such energetically charged men and women. We encounter them every day, be it work, subway or street. It could be one of the family members. Leeches are very similar to vampires. They replenish their energy by taking it from others. Life force also goes away with it.

Leeches work according to this method: provoke conflict, humiliate others. As soon as they charge people with negative, they gain positive energy and feel better. Leeches become more active and feel a strong surge of energy. Anyone who succumbed to the influence of such a person feels devastated, depressed, physically weak.

This type of people is quite aggressive and persistent, a strong wave of negativity comes from them.

In order for the leech to always be in a good mood, it needs energy donors. She surrounds herself with such people, because you can stick to their energy field.

Stickers

The type of people who throws a huge amount of negativity on an interlocutor (even an unfamiliar one). They try to stick to a person for a long time in order to slowly suck the positive out of him. Sticky people want to be near the source of energy, call, make appointments, advise or ask for advice.

But if something not quite good happens in life, they immediately remove the guilt from themselves and condemn those around them. That is, they act a little differently than leeches. Sticky people are fueled by the energy of people who give them moral support, feel pity, give advice.

It should be noted that their energetic influence on people is much less than that of leeches.

Absorbers

Sinkers are both recipients and donors. They have an accelerated energy-information exchange and increased sensitivity. They feed on the fact that they are introduced into the lives of others, affecting personal aspects and showing increased care.

There are two types of such people:

1. The former absorb both positive and negative. They often look offended, but quickly calm down.
2. The second type needs a negative, gives its positive energy to others. Representatives of this category help people, but they themselves suffer.

Plants

They are called energy donors. People-plants give their energy to others. At the same time, they like to poke their nose into other people's affairs, which is not particularly pleasant to those around them, who express their displeasure and anger.

Filters

They have a strong enough energy, letting through themselves both positive and negative. Everything that is directed at the human filter flies to the sender, only with a completely different charge.

The negative remains in the filter, only the positive returns. Such people are found in the following professions: psychologist, diplomat, peacemaker.

Mediators

Category of people with accelerated energy exchange. They absorb positive (and not so) emotions, but cannot sufficiently resist the negative. It manifests itself like this: the mediator was given information, he cannot deal with it and sends it on. This is one of the most common types of people.

Samoyeds

People are quite fixated on their experiences. They rarely come into contact with the outside world, since they are not endowed with the property of competent energy distribution. They hide a lot of negativity in themselves.

Test

Human energy is easy to calculate by. To do this, multiply the day and month of birth by the year. Then add up the numbers and get the result.

For example, birthday is August 2, 1993. Following the formula (month and day) * year, we get: 802 * 1993.

802*1993=1598386

1+5+9+8+3+8+6 = 40

Up to 20 - the energy is weak. Such a person sucks strength from others, can do it both subconsciously and consciously.

From 21 to 30 - medium. The majority of owners of the average energy level. They live a measured life, do not grab stars from the sky, have both positive and negative energy.

More than 31 is very strong. People who receive energy from space and share it with others. People are drawn to them, feeling their powerful potential.

And at the end

In this video, Oleg Makeev will tell you how to get into your consciousness:

Plays an important role in everyone's life. By it, you can recognize a person, determine his strengths and weaknesses and understand whether to continue communication with him or not.

A little about the author:

Evgeny Tukubaev The right words and your faith are the keys to success in a perfect ritual. I will provide you with information, but its implementation directly depends on you. But don't worry, a little practice and you will succeed!

To understand what feelings are, you need to understand by what criteria they can be evaluated. Criteria are another basis for classification.

The criteria serve to ensure that experiences can be measured, characterized and called a word, that is, defined.

There are three criteria of feelings:

1. valence (tone);
2. intensity (strength);
3. sthenism (activity or passivity).

Feelings table number 1 allows you to characterize any complex experience:

For example, a person may have a positive, strong sthenic experience. It could be love. If the intensity of the sensations is weak, it's just sympathy.

The table of feelings, characterizing experiences, does not allow them to be called a word. The name can only be guessed at. A person does not always have enough knowledge and experience to determine how to correctly name the emotional excitement experienced. This is not surprising, since there are so many of them. However, some people cannot name even ten feelings, and in fact, on average, a person experiences so many every day.

The third basis for classifying socially conditioned experiences is based on the underlying emotion.

American psychologist Paul Ekman identified seven basic emotions:

• joy;
• sadness;
• anger;
• fear;
• surprise;
• disgust;
• contempt.

Feelings Chart # 2 suggests looking for the name of the emotional experience you are experiencing, starting from the first four basic emotions:

BASIC EMOTION	DERIVATIVES
Fear	Anxiety, confusion, panic, nervousness, distrust, uncertainty, uncertainty, apprehension, embarrassment, anxiety, doubt, and others.
Sadness	Apathy, despair, guilt, resentment, concern, sadness, depression, weakness, shame, boredom, melancholy, depression, fatigue and others.
Anger	Aggression, rage, disgust, fury, anger, envy, hatred, discontent, disgust, intolerance, disgust, contempt, neglect, jealousy, annoyance, cynicism and others.
Joy	Cheerfulness, bliss, delight, dignity, trust, curiosity, relief, revival, optimism, peace, happiness, serenity, confidence, satisfaction, love, tenderness, sympathy, euphoria, ecstasy and others.

The second table of feelings complements the first. Using both of them, one can understand what kind of power has taken possession of the mind and heart, how to describe and name it. And this is the first sure step to awareness.

List of moral, intellectual, aesthetic feelings

To the question: “what are the feelings”, each person can give his answer. Someone more often experiences strong and deep feelings, while others have mild and short-lived ones. The ability to feel depends on the temperament, character, principles, priorities and life experience of the individual.

Most often, feelings are classified depending on the sphere in which the object of experience is located:

• Moral

These are sympathy and antipathy, respect and contempt, affection and alienation, love and hate, as well as feelings of gratitude, collectivism, friendship and conscience. They arise in relation to the actions of other people or their own.

They are determined by the moral norms accepted in society and assimilated by the individual in the process of socialization, as well as by his views, beliefs, worldview. If other people's or their actions correspond to moral standards, satisfaction arises, if not - indignation.

• Intellectual

A person also has such experiences that arise in the process of mental activity or in connection with its result: joy, satisfaction from the process and result of work, discovery, invention. It is also inspiration and the bitterness of failure.

• Aesthetic

Emotional excitement arises when you perceive or create something beautiful. A person experiences incredible sensations when he sees the beauty of the Earth or the power of natural phenomena.

A person feels a sense of beauty when looking at a small child or an adult harmoniously built person. Beautiful works of art and other creations of human hands can evoke delight and elation.

Since this classification does not reveal the entire palette of feelings, it is customary to classify them for several more reasons.

How feelings differ from emotions

All people experience emotional experiences and worries, but not everyone knows how to name and express them in words. But it is precisely the knowledge of what feelings are that helps not only to correctly determine, but also to control, manage them.

Feelings are a complex of experiences associated with people, objects or events. They express a subjective evaluative attitude towards real or abstract objects.

People in everyday life and some psychologists use the words "feelings" and "emotions" as synonymous words. Others say that feelings are a kind of emotion, namely higher emotions. Still others share these concepts: emotions belong to the class of mental states, and feelings to mental properties.

Yes, there is a direct relationship between them, because they are human experiences. Without emotional disturbances, the individual would not live, but exist. They fill life with meaning, make it diverse.

But there are still significant differences between feelings and emotions:

• Emotions are innate and instinctive reactions of the body to changes environment, feelings - social, developed in the process of education and training experiences. A person learns to feel, to express emotions, everyone knows how from the moment of birth.
• Emotions are difficult to control by an effort of will, feelings are easier to control, despite their complexity and ambiguity. Most of them arise in a person in consciousness, emotions are often not realized, since they are associated with the need to satisfy an instinctive need.
• Feeling changes, develops and fades away, varies in strength, manifests itself in different ways, can develop into its opposite, emotion is a certain reaction. For example, if a person experiences hatred for another person, it is possible that this experience will develop into love, and the emotion of fear is always fear, regardless of the object (it may be unreasonable). Fear is either there or not.
• Emotions do not have objective correlation, feelings do. They are experienced in relation to something or someone in different ways. For example, loving a child is not the same as loving a spouse. And for example, bewilderment is always expressed in the same way, regardless of what exactly causes it.
• Feelings are a stronger motivator than emotions. They motivate, inspire, push to perform actions in relation to the object to which they are directed. Emotions only give rise to actions in the form of responses.
• Emotions are short and superficial, albeit bright manifestations, and feelings are always complex and strong emotional disturbances.

It can be difficult to determine when a combination of emotions will generate a feeling, and what higher experience is expressed in a particular series of emotional manifestations. These are close, concomitant phenomena, but still they need to be distinguished. The individual is responsible for his higher emotions and for the actions that they entail.

How to manage your feelings

When strong feelings and excitements take possession of a person, even if they are positive, the psychological balance is disturbed.

For psychological health and well-being, you need to be able to moderately enjoy both positive feelings and upset from negative ones.

To cope with excessive sentiments that prevent you from responding adequately and acting wisely, you need to:

1. Describe the emotional sensations: determine the valence, intensity, stenicity (Table of feelings No. 1).
2. Determine the underlying emotion. Choose what the experience is more like: fear, sadness, anger or joy (Table of feelings number 2).
3. Decide on the name and try to figure out the experiences on your own.

Sometimes emotional impulses take over a person so much that he literally can neither sleep nor eat. Long-term strong experiences are stressful for the body. It is not for nothing that nature conceived that even a bright period of falling in love, when the blood is oversaturated with adrenaline, oxytocin and dopamine, does not last long, developing into calm and solid love.

Each person must have their own table of feelings if they want to be a conscious person.

The eternal dispute between mind and heart is a question of the ability to regulate emotional, sensory impulses through the mind.

Experiencing deep and powerful experiences, a person lives life to the fullest. It is unreasonable to limit your sensitivity, and sometimes it is simply impossible. It's all about what experiences a person chooses: positive or negative, deep or superficial, real or fake.

It can be both a gift and a curse.

Each of us wants to find that person who would understand our feelings. Earlier, we talked about what empathy is. This is a kind of clairvoyance, the ability of a person to feel the state of other people without words and touch.

How empathy works

The fact is that the whole world, all space that we see and do not see, is permeated with energy waves. There is a connection between all people, which is beyond the control of human vision.

This very bond is usually formed by long-term relationships or communication. When you know someone, when you are in tune with him, you can easily determine his mood. As an illustrative example, we can cite twins who, even being at great distances from each other, can feel the sadness of their other half. The same bond develops in people who love each other. Husband and wife are a single organism, if we consider it from the point of view of energy.

You have never had a situation that a loved one, parents or best friend called you and said that they had some kind of problem, and before that call you felt that something was wrong. Most strong psychics have perfect empathy. They know how to feel the energy of things and photos.

Sometimes it even brings problems. When you are overly sensitive, there is a risk that your mood will constantly change. Usually people with strong empathy have emotional problems - they are contraindicated in sad movies, books and horror movies. They perceive everything on an energetic level, therefore they cannot control themselves.

How to develop empathy

Many want to develop their psychic abilities. Each of us has them, but 99 percent of people have them so deeply buried that it will take a lot of effort to dig them out.

Fortunately, nothing is impossible in our universe. Want to become an empath? You have a chance. You need to work on your energy, increasing it day by day. Use for this:

Affirmations will help to tune thoughts, meditations - the soul. Holotropic Breathwork will teach you to connect yourself to the world of weightlessness. It is worth noting that communication with children and animals is the best teacher in this matter, because babies and animals have no pretense.

Intuition and empathy have a lot in common. Our brain perceives both in an almost identical way, so we need to develop intelligence and learn to listen to the inner voice.

Analyze your dreams. Dreams can tell a lot about our inner world and about what is happening outside of it in that very invisible energy range.

Empathy will teach you to see the world in different colors, but with any gift new problems come, so you have to learn to get along with the feelings of sadness that the people around you may experience, because they will inadvertently share their troubles with you. Reading joy will be the most pleasant thing. Seeing your loved ones happy is true happiness.

Increase your energy by any means to become independent of problems. The meaning of life is to be strong and create reality around you, not to be part of a reality created by someone else. Learn to see the world with your own eyes, feel it with every cell of your body. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

How do you know if you are an empath?

I can feel, sense the feelings of another person, just by looking at their faces. Am I an empath? Often you ask yourself a similar question when you cannot explain what is happening to you.

In this article, I want to tell you how to determine that you are an empath. Empathy is the ability to feel people's emotions as if they were your own. It could be a gift or a curse because who wants to feel sad with a sad stranger on the road? Who wants to have physical pain if someone is in pain because they fell. How and what do you really feel? But on the other hand, you can use this empathy as an opportunity to help people and develop an ability for yourself.

Here are some factors that can help determine if you are an empath. But if you are still in doubt, you can take our empathy test, it will definitely not lie, it was compiled by a professional in his field 😉

So, let's get started ...

Supernatural human abilities

Scientists have proven that the human brain can function 100% even when solving the simplest problems. The question arises: what are the capabilities of the human mind? At times, interesting and controversial messages appear about phenomena that we do not understand, as well as about people who, in their opinion, have unusual abilities.

In most cases, scientists and various kinds of researchers only state the facts, and it depends on us whether to believe in a person's superpowers or not.

Healing

A healer is a person who is able to see and understand all forms of illness, whether physical or psychological abnormalities. Such people feel the pain of others.

Almost all traditional healers use biokinesis (the ability to control a foreign organism), which allows them to control organic tissues. In this way, they heal themselves and others.

The disadvantage of this ability is that some healers can become so sensitive to the diseases of others that they themselves can become ill with the same ailment. In addition, one traditional healer, having cured his "colleague", may lose his gift forever.

There are a lot of people with such abilities. They usually become doctors or nurses. But still, most people who can heal without the use of medications and surgical interventions go to the so-called alternative medicine.

Important! Remember that not all diseases can be cured through the methods of traditional medicine, while the delay associated with untimely diagnosis and improper treatment can cost the patient his life!

Juan Teixeira is a Brazilian healer who heals thousands of people every day. The cure occurs in an extremely interesting way: the healer performs complex surgical operations without medication, while the blood is practically invisible.

Juan is able to heal serious illnesses with the help of psychological suggestion. According to the healer, his abilities are due to the interventions of higher beings who use the body of João. He believes that the souls of the once deceased healers, doctors or hypnotists mediate for him.

Juna Is a famous Russian healer, psychic and recognized phenomenon. Her superpowers were investigated by Soviet scientists who failed to explain this anomaly.

Juna has an extremely strong energy, with the help of which she affects the biological field of a person, fills him with energy and heals the body. Her healing operations are based on non-contact massage (keeping her hands at a distance from the body).

Edgard Cayce was probably the most amazing person of the twentieth century. This is a great healer and clairvoyant, thanks to whom many people in the world have believed in forces and phenomena that are inexplicable from the point of view of science.

Casey did all diagnostics and predictions in a trance state. According to the healer, during a hypnotic sleep, he entered the "Akashic Chronicles" - the energy-informational sphere of the Earth, where all the present, past and future of a person are recorded.

Xenoglossia

Xenoglossia is a phenomenon due to which some people can understand foreign languageswithout previously studying them. There are people who are born with such a gift, while many can spend a lot of time and energy on learning foreign languages.

Nikolay Alexandrovich Lipatov from the Vologda region in 1978 he was struck by lightning and miraculously survived, but the miracles did not end there. Unexpectedly for himself and those around him, he began to speak three European languages \u200b\u200bfluently.

Gennady Sergeevich Smirnov from the Tula region in 1987, being a pensioner, he was pushed against a fence by a truck trailer, and when clamped, he hit his head hard. The very next day, he began to speak German, which he absolutely did not know before.

Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance is the ability to see the unknown. Such people can be in one place and know what is happening in a completely different place at a very great distance.

Clairvoyants see the future, the past, and the present. As a rule, their psychic abilities are based on the vision of any episodes from the lives of other people.

Lev Tolstoy - Russian writer, mystic and clairvoyant, whose striving for holiness and truth became an example for many.

Vanga - world famous Bulgarian clairvoyant.

Gurzhdiev - a famous Russian clairvoyant, mystic. He worked for several intelligence agencies at the same time during the Second World War.

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev famous for its chemical table, which is now used by the whole world. However, the history of the creation of this table, which he saw in a dream, is no less interesting.

Important! Today, even the most zealous skeptics do not exclude the existence of the gift of clairvoyance. However, before you go to a clairvoyant, think about the fact that you can be easily deceived, because it is not a secret for anyone that in the modern world, various kinds of fortune telling and predictions are a profitable business, and most of the "sorcerers", "magicians" and "fortune-tellers" are ordinary charlatans.

Empathy

An empath is a person who feels the emotions of another. This ability is more common in children who are very discerning about the world and the people around them. This strength can disappear with age, but there are people who manage to maintain the ability for life.

Typically, empaths aspire to become teachers and counselors, as their vocation is to help other people. In fact, an empath can be compared to a good psychologist, and if you add logic to the ability to understand people, then many of us can confidently be called a kind of empath.

Most empants constantly experience periods of depression caused by the negative emotions of other people taking over. People with such abilities must learn to block the emotions of others so as not to absorb the negativity of others, and also to surround themselves with positive people.

Energy Vampirism

An energy vampire is a person who, in contact with other people, uses their energy (feeds on it), while he does this most often unconsciously.

Such people try to surround themselves with as many friends, acquaintances and colleagues as possible in order to take away their vitality. They are able to read the minds of others, which they can use for selfish purposes.

All this makes the energy vampire capable of dominating others.

P. S. Today, every second person can be called an energy vampire, since modern life is filled with negative emotions and communication with people that we do not always like. In addition, we have forgotten how to enjoy everyday things: the smile of a child, the bright sun overhead.

Pyrokinesis

Pyrokinesis is the ability of a person to cause fire with the power of thought. Also, these people can strengthen the already burning flame.

There are two main forms of this power.

Fire is like warmth

A person with this type of pyrokinesis can provoke a fire. Moreover, for each such person, the created fire has an individual visual form. The flame created can burn anyone except the one who creates it.

This is a very dangerous force that is widespread in last years... People with pyrokinesis have a hard time controlling their emotions and may become angry for unknown reasons.

This form of pyrokinesis is a fireball of energy that generates light. People who create this kind of energy know how to control their emotions. This flow of energy is like the light of the sun or the light of a light bulb.

Spontaneous combustion in Australia

It should be noted that cases of spontaneous combustion of people are not uncommon. Such phenomena are regularly recorded, which cannot be explained from the point of view of science or physiology.

In the Australian city of Brisbane in 1996, a naked girl ran out into the street with a wild scream. When she calmed down a bit, she said that she had come with her boyfriend to this city for the weekend.

Her friend went to take a bath and she went to bed. Then he went out, lay down next to her in bed and suddenly caught fire, after a minute turned into dust.

Spontaneous combustion in Peru

The rector of the church in the city of Orellano (Peru) delivered a sermon to his flock in 1993. When he began to read about the fiery hyena that waits for sinners in Heaven, he screamed terribly and turned into a fiery club.

The parishioners rushed to flee the church in terror. When they returned, they found completely intact the priest's clothes, in which there was only ash.

Spontaneous combustion in Spain

A resident of Madrid, Roberto Gonzalez, in 1998, listened to a toast at his own wedding, suddenly flared up and turned to ash in less than a minute. Hundreds of people witnessed the tragedy, but the element of fire did not affect anyone and nothing else.

The nature of such phenomena studied by scientists has not yet been established.

Illusionism

An illusionist is a person who can change the structure of molecules in objects. This can be used to disguise something.

Some illusionists use consciousness to create an illusion, while others prefer specific objects, or rather their movement in space. Many people compare illusionists to magicians, since both are artists whose main goal is to grab the viewer's attention and believe in the impossible. But! Illusionists use human subconscious delusions to achieve their goal, and magicians use sleight of hand. As a result, neither one nor the other (according to scientists) have nothing to do with magic and supernatural abilities.

As a rule, the best illusionists use their gift for personal enrichment and glorification (David Copperfield is an example), or find use of their abilities in mental institutions, trying to help people with mental disorders.

Levitation

Levitation is the ability that allows a person to raise his body above the ground, that is, to fly (such a gift requires a great concentration of strength and energy). However, examples of levitating objects are more common.

Messages about this mysterious phenomenon have been known since the dark Middle Ages. Thus, Joseph of Cupertinsky, a member of the French Order, was referred to as "often rising and hovering in the air", causing shock to the public.

Levitation in Mexico

There is evidence that such "flying people" can unexpectedly move for themselves over long distances. So, in October 1953, a man in a military uniform appeared on a street in Mexico City, speaking with passers-by in a foreign language.

Later it turned out that this is a Filipino who, in a few seconds, was transported from Manila, where he guarded the governor's palace. Local residents were delighted with the "balloonist" and gave him a warm welcome.

Levitation in India

Such flights did not always end well. So, an employee of the Portuguese colony in India in 1655 instantly flew to his homeland in Portugal. Because he violated the "order given by God," the Inquisition decided to burn him at the stake.

Interesting Facts! according to some scientific research, levitation is explained by the ability of individuals to reduce their own weight in a manner unknown to science. The only thing that scientists cannot understand is how it can be done.

Suggestion

The art of suggestion is the ability to control the minds of others. This is a very dangerous power, because people who possess it are able to influence the actions of others with the power of thought.

In order to inspire a person with a certain thought, verbal contact is not necessary, since it is to influence a person's thoughts at a distance. This technique was owned by the hypnotist Wolf Messing.

He could hold a person under hypnosis, being at great distances from him, amounting to hundreds of kilometers.

Thanks to his extraordinary abilities, Messing gained fame as a magician and wizard. His talent sought to use the powers that be for their own purposes.

It was because of his hypnotic sessions that he managed to anger Hitler, and even so much that he promised huge money for the capture of the magician.

Wolf Messing said that he acquired the ability to hypnosis through long training. The hypnotist was sure that all people have the ability to inspire thoughts, it is just that one should develop such abilities in oneself.

Regeneration

Regeneration is a person's ability that allows him to heal himself in a short time. There are cases of tissue regeneration in sick people without the use of modern medicine methods of treatment. However, they experience physical pain during the regeneration process. This ability is explained by the fact that the brain can influence the process of repairing body tissues.

Some sources describe amazing, but unlikely cases of immortality of such people, who supposedly can be killed in only one way: by cutting off the head so that their brain cannot restore the body. Of course, these are all rumors, but as they say, "there is no smoke without fire." Therefore, the question of the existence of people capable of regenerating themselves remains open.

See spirits

The gift of seeing spirits is actually very common, but not everyone uses it. Distinguish between harmless spirits and evil. Some mediums can physically interact with ghosts, which is not always safe.

Some people who have this ability are afraid of spirits, others use this and contact them.

Edmund Gurney () - the author of the book "Living Ghosts", was sure that the soul of a person can appear to other people 12 hours before death and the same after. He argued that such visions are the final astral flight of the dying person.

Sir William Barrett () was 37 years professor of physics at the Royal College of Science, Dublin. He said the following: "I am absolutely convinced that those who once lived on earth can communicate with us."

Oliver Lodge () is known for studies of life after death. He began studying a similar phenomenon in the 1880s. From 1901 to 1903 he was president of the Society for Psychical Research. Also Oliver Lodge is the author of the book "Raymond, or

Life and Death ", which deals with contacts with the spirit of his son Raymond, after his death at the front.

Lycanthropy

Lycanthropy is a paranormal phenomenon that causes metamorphoses in the body, due to which a person turns into another creature (most often a wolf). Many werewolves only change into one specific animal.

But! Scientists call lycanthropy a special mental state in which a person, although he considers himself a werewolf, but in fact is not such, because he does not change his physical form. At the same time, the lycanthrope is extremely dangerous for society, since it shows aggression and indomitable strength.

Werewolf stories

According to the legend, in the middle of 1760, in one in the central parts of France, a certain beast frightened local residents. Livestock and people began to disappear every day. Witnesses described him as a large wolf, giving him the name Lu Garou... They tried to shoot him, but the werewolf turned out to be immortal. It all ended with the hunters killing him with a silver bullet right in the heart.

Robert Fortney from Michigan in 1938 encountered creatures that looked like werewolves. As he claimed, five animals attacked him at once. He even shot one of them, but he was seized with horror when the most ferocious beast stood on its hind legs and looked at him with a grin.

Here is a relatively recent case. Truck driver Scott On August 27, 2005, a strange incident was reported on the radio, and the director of the company, Jan Pannett, had already told everyone about the incident. Moving along the highway, the driver saw how on the side of the road some animal was tormenting a killed deer. According to him, the beast was not like any known one: a mixture of a wolf and a monkey.

Today, such a widespread popularity of lycanthropy is facilitated by a huge number of films about werewolves and vampires.

Telekinesis

Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with the power of thought. This ability requires an understanding of energies, which few people can learn.

These people focus on the object, which prompts it to move without touching. People who know how to learn telekinesis practice a lot and do not stop there. They can even do this all their lives and not really master this ability.

Telekinesis in France

Recorded case of telekinesis happened to a French woman Angelica Cotten at the age of 14. On January 15, 1846, she and three of her friends were embroidering. Suddenly, the embroidery fell out of the girls' hands, and the lamp flew into the corner.

Friends without hesitation accused Angelica of what had happened, because in her presence strange events often took place: furniture moved or chairs flew around the room.

Telekinesis in Russia

The most famous case of telekinesis in Russian history is called the Kulagina phenomenon. In the sixties of the last century, experiments were carried out with the participation Ninel Sergeevna Kulagina, which made objects move and changed the trajectory of their movement.

For the reliability of the experiment, it was even closed in a metal box,

to exhaust the possibility of attracting external electromagnetic forces. During the experiment, Kulagina pulled out only one of the many matches, which was marked and was located under a glass dome.

Telepathy

Telepathy is a fairly common ability by which a person recognizes the thoughts and feelings of other people or animals.

Some have developed telepathy at a distance, others only with close contact. There are telepaths who can look far into the consciousness of another person, and there are telepaths who can read thoughts only at the moment.

Such people constantly feel headaches due to the fact that they catch the thoughts of others, which are far from always good.

Telepathy in war

Among the known telepathic messages is the case of a certain major General R., described in the minutes of September 9, 1848. This soldier was seriously wounded during the siege of the city of Multan and, realizing that the end was near, asked to take off the wedding ring and give it to his wife.

His wife at that moment was 240 km away from this place and claimed that she had the lead of this scene. Subsequently, the incident on both sides was documented and confirmed.

Animal telepathy

In 1904, the writer Ryder Haggard published a case that happened to him. One night, he began to experience a choking attack while sleeping. At the same time, Ryder understood that he was seeing through the eyes of his dog named Bob.

Haggard later saw him lying in the grass by the water. Subsequently, it turned out that the dog was hit by a train and he was in the water.

Time travel

Time travel is a form of teleportation and is not widely used. People who claim to have this ability are able to move in time, not space.

This is very dangerous, because they can cease to exist or interrupt the course of any historical events.

In theory, scientists are willing to accept the fact that time travel is possible. So, the Israeli scientist Amos Ori scientifically substantiated such travel through research.

World science already has the necessary theoretical knowledge to assert that a time machine can be created.

Back to the past

In the Siberian town of Tobolsk at the end of August 1897, a man with a strange appearance and strange behavior by the name of Krapivin.

He was taken to the police station and interrogated. The testimony of this man shocked those around him: he claimed that he was born in 1965 in the city of Angarsk and worked as an operator of a personal electronic computer (PC).

Krapivin did not understand how he ended up in 1897, but he remembered that before that he had a severe headache, after which he lost consciousness. A doctor was invited to the police station, who diagnosed "quiet insanity", after which Krapivin was taken to a hospital for the insane.

During the battles for the liberation of Estonia in 1944 near the Gulf of Finland tank reconnaissance battalion under the command of Troshin in the forest I noticed strange people dressed in the uniform of cavalrymen.

When unknown cavalrymen saw the tanks, they began to run away. However, they managed to detain one of these strange people, who spoke exclusively in French.

He was taken to the headquarters of the Soviet troops, and everything told by the French cavalryman plunged the officer and the translator into shock.

He claimed to be the cuirassier of Napoleon's army and their detachment was trying to get out of the encirclement after the Moscow retreat. It turned out that the cuirassier was born in 1772.

The ambiguity of all the described cases does not allow us to assert with one hundred percent certainty that they are reliable, but no one could completely refute either.

Atmokinesis

Atmokinesis is a person's ability to influence weather conditions. These people know how to control the weather, which is closely related to emotions.

If a person with such power is angry, then regardless of whether he wants it or not, violent storms begin, it rains and a gusty wind blows.

This ability is difficult to control, as well as your emotions.

One of these people who knows how to control the weather is a bachelor of the Russian branch of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, an honorary member of the Order of Sorcerers Ivan Ivanovich Kulebyakin... He first learned about his gift in the orphanage at the age of 6.

Then, during a strong hurricane, some force carried him out into the street and, raising his hands, he stood for several minutes, after which the hurricane subsided. This action was captured on videotape.

In May 1992, showman Igor Mikitasov organized an anniversary celebration. Igor turned to Ivan Ivanovich to "create" a pleasant, warm weather.

The sky was overcast that evening and the moon was not visible. Then at midnight, dressed in a green cloak and mask, with a dove on his shoulder, Kulebyakin was put into a balloon and raised above the audience in a solemn atmosphere. To the surprise of the enthusiastic audience, he "pushed" the clouds, making the stars and the moon shine.

Human abilities. Empathy

2. You can anticipate the behavior and reactions of the other person.

3. Feeling the other person, you can "find an approach" to him.

4. You can feel the motives behind the other person's behavior.

5. You can feel the sincerity and insincerity of the interlocutor.

6. You will be able to master telepathy in the future.

1. Include a movie with strong emotional content, usually dramas, war films. Thrillers are best avoided.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of the main character. Try to feel what mood the hero is in in a difficult situation, what is he thinking about? And what is actually going through the actor playing this role? Forget that you are at home in your favorite chair. Imagine that you are on a set or the plot of a movie is the plot of your own life. The same can be done with the hero from the book. Imagine that some book character is you. Imagine how you would act, being in the place of these heroes, having their character and destiny.

Don't expect a specific phrase to appear in your mind or a voice to explain how the other person is feeling. Empathy is your sensitivity. You will not know why a person is in this or that state if you are not told. But you will know exactly what the person is experiencing, in what mood the interlocutor is.

What allows a person to subtly feel other people? How empathy works

Empathy¹ is a person's ability to feel other people, other people's emotions, desires and feelings. It refers to extrasensory perception: developed hypersensitivity allows you to perceive the emotions of other people.

In fact, most people have the ability to empathy, it is just expressed in varying degrees. This is a deeply personal feeling, which is not customary to talk about.

Some people intuitively know how to do this. Others do not know how to do this. In this case, empathy will bring suffering to its bearer: some people cannot even distinguish between their emotions and those of others: for them everything feels like their own feeling!

In a normal state, when a person does not have developed empathy, or when the ability is deliberately disabled, his biofield looks like this:

When he begins to empathize with someone, the aura becomes "porous":

Figuratively speaking, when an empath is centered in himself, he is like a bowl, and when he begins to actively empathize, he becomes like a colander.

The holes in the energy body, “pores” let psychic energy through to the person, a connection is built, and the empath begins to subtly feel his experiences.

The opposite also happens: when the energy of attention is transferred from the surrounding world: from other people, places and events.

A decision-making process takes place before the action. Empaths are able to subtly feel other people what a person intends to do before the action itself!

Empathy allows you to experience the experience of the unity of being, to feel like a different person, to understand the actions of other people.

If the empath does not know how to “turn off” this ability, then this greatly affects his life and health, gradually destroys him.

How does uncontrolled empathy manifest in life?

This spectrum is great, it always leads to the loss of internal energy² through the constant wasting of emotions. This can be physically exhausting - essentially, the empath takes on the physical and emotional pain of others.

1. Overactive empathy in relationships

A person has a strong desire to help another when he sees that he has a problem.

This leads to the fact that he begins to "adopt" the problems and forgets about himself. As a result, the empath internally ceases to understand where he and his life are, and where the feelings of the other are.

2. Hyperactive empathy in the social environment

Empaths cannot stay in society for a long time, because they lose themselves in the ocean of sensations from many people around them. They are so focused on the perception of emotions in the “air” and plunge into their world that they lose themselves, their integrity.

3. Overactive emotional empathy

An empath is heavily influenced by someone else's emotional pain. If someone has a severe loss, for example, someone died, the empath can support this person, perceiving emotions for him, but then begins to feel bad and feel someone else's grief.

4. Hyperactive empathy in certain places

If an empath enters a building that is filled with the emotions of many people, he begins to subtly feel the entire emotional background of this place. This manifests itself in hospitals, schools, etc.

5. Physical empathy

Some empaths can even feel the physical pain of other people! At first, this manifests itself in the fact that they perceive the pain itself in a specific place, and then severe headaches can arise from physical empathy.

These are the most common types of empathy, although there are many more types of empathy, such as intellectual compassion, empathy with animals and plants, and others.

In order to learn to use the virtues of superpowers, you need to control your empathy.

Reiki path

I feel you. Empathy - what is it?

There are many rumors and speculation about empathy. Some consider her to be something like extrasensory perception, others compare empathy with empathy for loved ones.

Although in fact it opens up empathic ability, high sensitivity and ability to empathize.

If you explain empathy in your own words, then this is the ability not only to understand a person and sympathize with him, but also to fully penetrate his inner world and feel a specific situation on himself. It is a rare gift to look at the world with someone else's eyes and take someone's point of view.

Empathy is an understanding of the mental and emotional state of another person, that is, the ability to perceive the feelings of the interlocutor, while realizing that these are the emotions of another person.

An empath can very subtly distinguish bouquets of feelings, emotions, relationships, which is not available to many people. People, more often than not, can hardly determine what feeling is filling them at the moment. The empath feels all shades of feelings and not only those that the person himself is clearly aware of, the empath sees several "levels" of the existence of which the person himself does not even suspect, although no, everyone has heard about the subconscious, it is also available to the empath.

If a person perceives the partner's emotions as his own, then this is no longer called empathy, but identification with the interlocutor. Identification is an empath's tool, with its help he can understand a person in more detail.

There is a theory that mirror neurons, discovered in 1990 by a group of Italian scientists, are responsible for empathy, but this hypothesis has not been fully studied. Remarkably, mirror neurons were originally found in the frontal cortex of monkeys.

Real empathy is not about reading the mood of the interlocutor by his gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice. In order to master this method of reading the emotions of the interlocutor, you just need to read a well-written book about sign language.

Still, you may not be able to accurately understand the degree of despair, joy, or excitement in your interlocutor. A strong empath does not need to see a person's gestures and facial expressions; they can just look at a photograph, although this is not always necessary.

“Unfortunately, there are no specific methods that would allow one to learn empathy in a week or a month. Many world psychologists believe that it cannot be learned consciously at all. Empathy is what appears as a result of experienced sorrows and problems. This is our own bitter experience, which becomes a pass to understanding the suffering. In principle, charity, helping the elderly, children and animals help to develop in the course of time deep and strong compassion, that is, empathy ”.

To some extent, these words are correct, but another empath who has already gone this way can help to master the ability to empathy inherent in a person. You probably won't be able to learn from the book, you need practical training.

The empathic way of communicating with another person has several facets. It implies entering the personal world of another and staying in it, "like at home." It includes a constant sensitivity to the changing experiences of the other - to fear, or anger, or emotion, or embarrassment, in a word, to everything that he or she is experiencing.

This means a temporary life in another life, a delicate stay in it without judgment and judgment. This means grasping what the other is barely aware of. But at the same time, there are no attempts to reveal completely unconscious feelings, since they can be traumatic. This includes communicating your impressions of the other's inner world, when you look with a fresh and calm look at those elements of it that excite or frighten the other person.

This implies frequent referral to someone else to check their impressions and listening carefully to the answers received. You are someone else's confidant. By pointing out the possible meanings of the other's experiences, you are helping them to experience more fully and constructively.

To be with the other in this way means to leave aside your points of view and values \u200b\u200bfor a while in order to enter the other's world without bias. In a sense, this means that you are leaving your self. This can only be done by people who feel safe enough in a certain sense: they know that they will not lose themselves in the sometimes strange or bizarre world of another and that they can successfully return to their world whenever they want.

Maybe this description makes it clear that being empathic is difficult. This means being responsible, active, strong and at the same time subtle and empathetic.

Classification. Types of empathy

Strange as it may seem, but empaths can be classified. Divide kind into empath levels. After all, we were all born with a wonderful gift - to feel, to empathize. But over time, in the family, society, life, the level of empathy has changed. Someone developed intensively, while someone, on the contrary, suppressed all living things in themselves that could arouse sympathy.

There are 4 types of empaths:

Everything is clear at once. Non-empaths are those people who have completely closed their empathic abilities. It is possible that these abilities themselves atrophied, as they were never used. Such people deliberately shut out emotional information (for example, they cannot recognize verbal and non-verbal emotional signals). If empathic abilities are not used, they disappear.

2. Weak empaths

This type of empathy is possessed by most of the population of our Earth. They still have basic filters for receiving emotional information, but because they cannot control it, emotional overload often occurs. Especially if the weak empath is experiencing emotional distress or is in a crowded place. Such people are often in a state of constant stress, as if the whole weight of the world, emotions, problems, fears, fell on their shoulders. When compared physically, they feel tired, headaches, etc.

3. Functional empaths

These are the most developed empaths who easily adapt to emotional information and can easily control emotions without suppressing them. Few people really know how to do this. Outwardly, these people are no different from ordinary people.

4. Professional empaths

Such empaths are easily able to recognize any emotions, moreover, the most complex emotional streams of information that are hidden in the depths of our soul. Such people can handle other people's emotions well. Good healers, as they see hidden energy channels. There are only a few such empaths who rarely meet in their pure form. It happens that an empath heals well, but for some reason or his own fear, he does not know how to control other people's emotions.

A professional empath will be able to a person who is in pain to cheer up and help get rid of pain. In the period of grief, forget about grief. Believe in yourself when there is no more hope. Can you do the same?

How do you know if you are an empath?

I can feel, sense the feelings of another person, just by looking at their faces.

Am I an empath? Often you ask yourself a similar question when you cannot explain what is happening to you.

In this article, I want to tell you how to determine that you are an empath.

Empathy is the ability to feel people's emotions as if they were your own.

It could be a gift or a curse because who wants to feel sad with a sad stranger on the road? Who wants to have physical pain if someone is in pain because they fell. How and what do you really feel? But on the other hand, you can use this empathy as an opportunity to help people and develop an ability for yourself.

Here are some factors to help determine if you are an empath. But if you are still in doubt, you can take our empathy test, it certainly won't lie.

1. Feel someone's emotions. This is the most common factor that says you are an empath. Look at passers-by on the street, if you feel happiness, love, sadness, bitterness, pain in their faces, then you are definitely an empath. You can just as easily merge with them, do the same, what they want. For example, you are thirsty or you urgently want to go home for no good reason. Mood swings, and sharp

2. You feel tired when you are in a crowded place. Since you can feel the emotions of other people, you may get tired of all this. You get angry and irritable, which causes quick mood swings. Many empaths don't like crowded places, they immediately feel devastated.

3. You can clearly say when a person is lying ... This is a kind of gift, to know if a loved one or a loved one tells you that he loves you. To determine whether a person is experiencing true feelings, only a real empath can recognize. By the idea of \u200b\u200ban empath, you cannot be fooled because he knows how you feel.

There are several ways to determine that you are an empath. Someone can see the aura of people, some can read people like an open book. But being an empath is harder, because constantly feeling a bunch of emotions in yourself and experiencing them like your own can drive you crazy!

Development of empathy, how to develop empathy?

People are divided into those who are already an empath and those who want to become an empath. We already know that there are several levels of empathy and in order to teach someone, to develop empathy, he needs to master one of the levels of empathy.

In fact, real empathy is harder to learn, especially for those who have never used it. You cannot turn the world upside down and say that I have changed and began to feel everything. It takes a long time to break your beliefs and learn empathy.

Empathy is not just feelings and experiences of someone, it is a complete understanding and realization that you feel it, as if it is happening to you. This is a very subtle world of a completely alien life. Not everyone wants to feel the emotions and desires of another person unnecessarily, but what is all this for? But let's not get into real empathy, but let's talk about the psychological component of empathy. About that empathy, which is written about in textbooks of psychology and business. This empathy is different in that you have to anticipate your opponent's actions and know what he wants from you through emotional reactions - this is much easier to teach. You will not feel everything on yourself, but you will be able to clearly realize what is happening to the person and empathize with him.

Therefore, we will divide this blog into two parts: real empaths who have a subtle sense of a person, and develops anyone and those who learn this. There will be a big difference between these empaths, since the first empaths can feel emotions on themselves without visual contact, and the second most likely will never be able to.

So how do you develop empathy?

1. Level of education

When communicating with a person, you should highlight emotional notes and gestures. For example, have you ever watched The Theory of Lies (Lie to Me)? If not, then look, this series clearly shows how with the help of facial expressions, gestures, reactions, tone of voice, you can determine what state a person is in, that is, what he feels. When you can focus correctly, without mistakes, your attention on such little things, you can see the emotional state of a person. But until you can shift it to yourself.

Practice on the street, with friends, acquaintances. Notice any little things: sloppiness, a hair on your jacket, hair, makeup on your face, all this can tell a lot more about a person than you think. Master this skill.

2. Level of training

So, now that you have certain skills, you can know what is happening with the person. Moreover, they must clearly know, and it does not seem to me that this is happening to him. No one seems to hone your skills, even if it takes years or months, but you should not be wrong.

The second level of training is more difficult, since at this stage you have to shift onto yourself those feelings, habits, timbre of voice, body movements on yourself. As if you are the object that you feel. To make it easier for you to go into the image, you need a strong emotional reaction. Observe carefully the person, imagine that he is you, if you have completely merged with him, you are a part of his life, you know in advance what he will do and how he will act in a given situation. You seem to live his life, without judging it and not thinking what is wrong.

You are one. You are comfortable in this body and life. If he is in love, you also love; if he feels pain, you also feel it with every cell of your body.

This is much more difficult to learn. You do not need to master this skill, but you will never become a real empath until you can experience in your own skin what the person is feeling. You seem to look in the mirror of someone else's life and see yourself in it. Perhaps you think this is complete nonsense and impossible, you are mistaken. An empath is someone who perceives another person's feelings as if they were their own. And nobody said that feelings should always be good.

3. Level of training

This level gives you the opportunity to become a real empath. Empaths don't just feel everything on themselves, they know how to manage this state. The first opportunity is to easily withdraw YOURSELF from any negative emotional state. The second possibility is to deduce the OTHER from the negative emotional state. Influence emotions. This is where the similarity begins, what psychology and business are trying to teach us. Controlling emotions and manipulating others through emotional connection.

Once you've mastered the first two levels of learning and empathic skills, it's easy to control all of this ...

Empathy is what it is, the levels and development of a person's ability. Empathy diagnostics, test and games

The ability to understand others and empathize with people is the foundation of productive human communication. Feeling and understanding the feelings of the interlocutor allows you to build long-term, strong relationships, it is easy to find a common language in studies and work. Ultimately, being able to do them can become a lifelong affair. The Anglo-American psychologist Edward Titchener defined these phenomena as empathy. Translated from Greek, this word means "passion", "suffering", and the concept itself presupposes the ability to feel any emotional state of another person, differentiating from their feelings.

Definition of the word empathy in psychology

Psychologists explain the following meaning of the word empathy: an irrational understanding of another person, a feeling of her inner world, the ability to partially experience the same emotions that the interlocutor has, while simultaneously separating them from her own perception. There are different levels and forms of empathic ability, differing in the degree of its intensity. Psychologists consider the tendency of people to empathize as the norm, while the complete identification of their experiences with the feelings of the interlocutor, or vice versa - the absence of any sensation of another person - is an abnormal state of affairs.

People with empathic abilities of different strengths are called empaths. Depending on the level, distinguish between weak, functional and professional. People whose ability to feel others is absent or so poorly developed that they cannot be counted even as a weak type, but this is rare. Types of empaths and their features:

Elena Malysheva: Tells how to lose weight without doing anything! Find out how \u003e\u003e\u003e

• Weak. They well perceive other people's emotions, but poorly control their own, are prone to stress and overload.
• Functional. They are distinguished by a high level of empathic abilities and the ability to take control over them.
• Professional. Easily determine what other people feel, are able to analyze emotions and manage them.

The role of empathy in communication

The feeling of empathy directly affects the quality of life of individuals in society. Research conducted by psychologists shows that people with higher levels of empathy are more successful, achieve goals more easily, and move up the career ladder faster than those with lower levels of empathy. A person who knows how to understand others is generally more benevolent, friendlier, he has more friends and a stronger family. He does not try to provoke feelings of guilt once again, does not demand too severe punishments for misconduct.

Showing the other person that you understand him is important not only in close relationships, but also in business relationships. Even if there is conflict situation, adequate people who know how to listen and hear will be able to find an effective solution and compromise much faster than interlocutors without developed empathy in similar conditions. Empathic abilities help people of art: artists - to tell their thoughts in a picture, actors - to get used to the role, the writer - to convey the character of the heroes.

What types of empathy are

There are two forms of empathy: empathy and empathy. The first presupposes identification with a person, feeling his sensations. The second form is the experience of one's own feelings, which arose in relation to the emotional sensations of another. In addition to forms, empathic abilities are classified according to types, which will be discussed in more detail below. There are three of them: emotional, cognitive and predictive empathy.

Emotional empathy

Emotional empathy is understood as a form of mental activity that is based on projecting and imitating the reactions of another person. It can be called “everyday” empathy: as a rule, most people's communication in the overwhelming majority of situations is based on this form - when one person sees the feelings of the interlocutor and projects them onto himself.

Cognitive

Empathy includes not only the ability to emotionally feel the feelings of another person, but also the ability to intellectually analyze his words, actions and behavior, in other words, to understand the person with the mind. This is how a form of cognitive empathy works, which is based on analysis and comparison. This type is used when conducting scientific discussions and during polemics.

Predicative

The predicative form of empathy is the ability to analyze and predict what sensations a particular situation will cause in the interlocutor. People in everyday life use the predicative empathic form, imagining themselves in the place of another person and determining how he would react to certain conditions, but the scientific name is not familiar to anyone.

Empathy levels

There are several levels of empathy, which are characterized by the degree of interest in the thoughts and feelings of others, and the intensity of the shown empathy and empathy. Conventionally, psychologists distinguish 3 degrees of empathy: the first is low, the second is medium, and the third is extremely high. More about the levels of ability to feel and understand others:

1. People with the first level of empathy seem aloof and indifferent, they have few friends, because they are not interested in the feelings, thoughts, actions of others. As a rule, representatives of the first level rarely understand others.
2. The second level of empathy is characterized by a relative indifference to what others think and feel, but at the same time the ability to empathize. Representatives of the second level prefer to fight with emotions, to keep them under control.
3. The third level of empathy is the rarest, because people of this type are able to empathize, sympathize with others, understand others better than themselves. They are outgoing and friendly. However, for representatives of the third level, it can be difficult to get rid of the dependence of public opinion.

Factors shaping empathy in children

Empathy is an innate feeling that is observed in all people with rare exceptions. Even babies, being in the same room, communicate empathically (one will cry - everyone will repeat). In the future, the ability to understand and accept others either becomes better or dulls, depending on upbringing, position in society, circle of communication. The development of empathy in preschoolers occurs due to environmental conditions:

• Trusting, loving relationships between family members.
• Observing how adults are able to empathize and empathize with others.
• Good attitude of parents towards pets and outdoor animals. It is important to explain to the child that the younger brothers, although very different from the person, can also experience pain if they are pinched or injured. Having pets promotes the development of a high level of empathy.
• A sympathetic reaction to sad, sad events, which is not hidden from the child - watching how mom and dad or other relatives worry about strangers helps the child put himself in the place of a suffering person.

After a small child has already accumulated some life experience, you can see how his sense of empathy grows. If the baby does not show empathic abilities, you should pay attention to this and do special exercises. People who, as they get older, do not learn to understand and accept others, will experience difficulties in building business, family, and friendships.

How to develop a sense of empathy: exercise

Empathy should be developed and trained from childhood if there are signs that the child is not acquiring this skill on his own. There are several pedagogical methods for the formation of empathic ability: communication, exercises in the form of a game. Special training is used even among adults in groups if a person with weak or absent empathy wants to develop.

• "What feeling?" For this exercise, participants are given cards on which an emotion is written - sadness, anger, joy, confusion. The person tries to show this feeling with facial expressions, and the task of the other interlocutors is to guess the emotion.
• "Monkey in front of the mirror." Participants are divided into pairs, someone takes the role of a monkey, the other becomes a mirror. The task of the "monkey" is to show everything that it pleases with facial expressions, and the "mirror" must repeat. After five minutes, the roles are reversed, and the presenters evaluate who was the best.
• "Phone". The participant of the game takes the phone and begins to pretend that he is talking to someone (at first he comes up with whom) - with a friend, grandmother, neighbor, boss. The rest must guess who the presenter is talking to.

Empathy diagnostics - online test

Empathy is a person's ability to feel others. Many people notice this skill in themselves, but how to determine your empathic level, to understand how high it is? To do this, psychologists have developed a short 25-question test that will allow you to better understand yourself.

“How rich our world is with sensations that we receive through the senses! In the summer we can be lured out of bed by the sweet scent of air pouring into the bedroom window. The sun paints moire patterns on the tulle curtains, and it seems as if they tremble from streams of light.

In winter, sometimes you hear a cardinal bird knocking loudly on the bedroom window, throwing itself at its reflection, and the mistress of the house even sleepily understands what this sound is. She goes to the kitchen and cooks a fragrant, slightly bitter ", - with these words Diana Ackerman, Bachelor of Arts and PhD begins his the book "General History of Feelings" (ed. "Hummingbird").

She devoted an entire book to the study of sensations (sight, taste, hearing, smell and touch), because she believes that physical sensations build a kind of bridges not only between countries and cultures, but also between different historical eras.

We invite you to learn more about how people of all times and peoples feel.

Smell

We smell constantly. “Close your eyes and stop seeing, shut up and stop hearing, but if you shut up your nose and try to stop sniffing, you will die,” notes Diana Ackerman.

We change smells. “We breathe in air, and it, while being in our body for some time, seems to languish there on a slow fire. And when we exhale, it leaves our body already changed, ”the scientist writes. People constantly change smells as they breathe.

Smells are hard to describe in words. Smells are multifaceted and varied: a person is able to distinguish more than 10,000 species, memory simply cannot correlate each with a specific word. Moreover, it can be difficult to find a word to describe to someone a smell that a person has never felt.

This is probably why smells leave a deep impression on themselves, because it is so difficult to name them. In addition, they still awaken memories and dormant feelings, delight, pamper, lead into temptation and warn of danger.

Touch

The skin separates a person from the outside world.“We are imprisoned with her, but at the same time she gives us an individual look, protects us from outside intrusions, cools or warms if necessary, produces vitamin D, and retains bodily fluids. Even more wonderful is that it can restore itself and is constantly renewed, ”writes Diana Ackerman.

In addition, the skin is the largest organ of the human body and the main organ of sex drive.

We use many tactile metaphors in speech. They can be found in any language: "soft heart", "stinging eyes", "firm promise", "hard water". “What worries us we call touching. Questions can be burning, sensitive or demanding delicacy, ”the author suggests.

Touch is the most direct of all senses.“If a saber-toothed tiger has its claws in your shoulder, you need to react to it immediately. Every tactile sensation or change in sensation (for example, when a gentle touch is replaced by a bite) awakens a violent activity in the brain.

By touching something, a person triggers a complex chain of reactions that are processed by the brain and cause an immediate reaction.

Taste

Taste is the most social feeling. "People are not very fond of dining alone, and food is an important socializing component."
At the table, they negotiate, conclude deals, celebrate birthdays. Food is an indispensable attribute of many religious and mystical rituals.

Taste is more difficult to catch than smell.“It takes 25,000 times more molecules to taste a taste than it takes to smell it. Cold, suppressing the sense of smell, and reduces the pungency of taste. "

Food is not only taste, but also new sensations. An improperly cooked fugu can kill. Burning is not that tasty, but will make you experience the full range of feelings and cause tears. Carrots can be fun to crunch, annoying others.

Hearing

People perceive low frequencies poorly.In general, in adolescence, a person is able to capture the widest range of sounds - almost ten octaves. This range decreases with age.

"People don't perceive low frequencies well, and this is a blessing: otherwise, the internal sounds of the body would deafen us just like the roar of a waterfall."

Ask questions during the conversation. Additional questions during the conversation help to better understand the point of view of the interlocutor. The questions also indirectly demonstrate your respect for the thoughts and feelings of the speaker. Openness to the perception of the interlocutor's information is a sign of empathy.

• The questions you ask should be open-ended so that the person can decide how to answer them. Leading questions, or questions that try to convince the other person that your point of view is correct, demonstrate disrespect for their feelings.
• If you are asking questions that cannot be simply answered with “yes” or “no”, be sure to give the interlocutor time to provide a detailed answer if he needs to explain something further to you.

Find the best way to express your feelings. It is very important to give vent to your own emotions, however, in order not to offend the feelings of the interlocutor, you must watch how you do it. Using phrases with the pronoun “I” will help you explain your feelings to the other person without showing you a bad attitude.

• For example, you shouldn't say, "You're wrong, I was in high school and this happened to me." It is much more polite to say, "I'm upset with what you just said, as it reminded me of my own experiences in high school ..."
• If you sympathize with your interlocutor, then, probably, he will treat you with compassion.

Be sure to emphasize something good when you criticize. If you need to express criticism, be sure to balance your phrase with an equal or even more emphasis that the person is doing well. Be completely free to choose those moments for which you can sincerely praise the person, and be moderate in criticism (but be straightforward).

Refrain from hackneyed phrases and clichés. If the person is having a hard time, try not to say something like, "Everything has its reasons" or, "I know perfectly well how you feel." You may have good intentions, but trying to tell a person that “every cloud has a silver lining,” will only show him your indifference.

• Try to focus on understanding what is being said. The interlocutor will be grateful if you use phrases like this: “I'm sorry that this happened. What you have had and will have to go through seems really difficult to bear. ”
• It is also okay to notify the other person that you do not have a similar experience. And in the event that such experience exists, be aware that it may differ somewhat from the situation in which the interlocutor found himself.

Show respect with your body language. Non-verbal communication signals may be even more important to the interlocutor than your words. While your specific body language may differ from culture to culture, the signals below usually show you respect for the other person.

• Maintain eye contact with the other person. This will help the person see that you truly want honest communication. However, eye contact should not be continuous for long periods of time, or it could be interpreted as a threat.
• Bend over to your interlocutor when talking to him.
• Periodic light touches to the hand of the interlocutor can serve to convey a friendly attitude and support. Long-term physical contact is discouraged for the reason that it can be regarded as a threat or flirting. It is wise to ask permission before touching a person. Respect the answer received in this case.
• Do not cross your arms over your chest, keep them relaxed.
• Relax your facial muscles and smile if you feel like it.
